really disappointed that I missed the game but what...the....fuck.. 6 of 25????

after reading all the comments, even tho it is all based on one scrimmage, rudy is starting to worry me

don't worry about him, its just a matter of time before he gets used to to his body,he was ripping through the defense like crazy you should have seen him but he just didn't have enough to finish it off. if i were you i wouldn't worry too much.

What they got to say now? Nothing they can say now. Mobbin' on the low. Winnin' on the low

You know despite my criticism and doubt of DeRozan, I really, really, really want to see him succeed and I would love to be as wrong about him as I was about Bargnani.

With that said, I am really happy on his showing today BUT (because there is always a but - lol) I reserve the right for skepticism until after the All-Star break. The issue with DeRozan has always been consistency. He started 2011-12 on a tear from 3 and ended 12-13 on a tear - in between, not so much. He has shown stretches of using his significant size advantage over most SG on the glass but overall he has been average at best. Same with creating for others and going strong to the hoop.

Anyways, it is a great start. I hope consistency is something he brings to his game this season. Regardless of if MU keeps him or trades him, his success is vital to the Raptors immediate future.

Ya - fields. Did some good things .. but shot looked as ugly as ever, so not sure if the good stuff he brings will outweigh the fact we may have to play 4 on 5 when hes out there.

Otherwise, good thoughts

Yeah I missed Fields and Acy.

Fields - Looked better than he did last year but the elbow is still suspect. His jumper has a big time hitch in it. He was alright though; made a few nice plays and guarded Gay effectively when he was on him.

Acy - The fact that I forgot him the first time probably isn't a good sign. I was expecting him to be flying around the court considering he's on the fringe of the rotation but I can't remember a single play involving him from the afternoon beside a long jumper that wasn't close near the end of the game.

He missed a lot of shots that he would normally make. Game was very scrappy.
I wouldn't worry at all.

If Austin Daye continues to play like that, and know his role in the offence, then I think he will be a welcome addition to the bench. Same with Augustin. They did exactly what was expected of them, and nothing more.

Raps have enough 3s and 4s.
They have enough PGs too but I like the versatility of stone and what he could bring to the lineups when paired with another PG. There would be little to no defensive worries like the Calderon/Lowry/JL3 combos of last season.

Ah yes, quite true. My mind is actually leaning a bit towards Stone, whether it's Stone or Wright, I wouldn't mind at all. Morais has been a non-factor so far, we'll see how he factors in pre-season.

Dont worry Rudy will put doubters to rest come season time and we'll be happy to have him it was just glorified practise after all I doubt he took it serious and was playing around on his possessions. DeMar and JV however they go HAM in every game they play I bet they could be playing against bed ridden cancer kids and still light up the stat line.
